I have looked to see what the minimum specs are for the Alcatel 330 ( I assume its that as its BTs standard one) and my Fujitsu but neither mention any CPU speed at all.Have you tried asking around if there are adsl modems either internal or external that will work with your current PC?I am just thinking of ways to save you some cash as you seem hapy enough with the speed of your present one

The really annoying thing is that I had an Alcatel from BT when I had my BB installed and I gave it away to a neighbour when I bought my router. I wish I had kept it now as Whiskas is a far more deserving case. I feel very guilty Whiskas and I'm kicking myself over it now.

Looks like this PCI will work with her current PC.Unfortunately it is £50-61p and would need fiting Whiskas,if you cant do it yourself I am sure our resident NE PC expert could find time to pop round and fit it for you.It would be cheaper than getting a new PC
